Mississippi Heat -
Featuring Carl Weathersby
Since Pierre Lacocque founded Mississippi Heat in 1991, the band personnel has varied, but one thing hasn't changed: Mississippi Heat consistently combines the talents of excellent Chicago blues musicians to create Delta-based Chicago blues with originality and panache. Carl Weathersby has recorded regularly with Mississippi Heat since 1999's Handyman. Here Weathersby plays on every song and solos on six, every bent-note drenched with soul and emotion. He also provides lead vocals on "Hell and Back." Today's Chicago Blues |

Mississippi Heat Carl Weathersby - lead guitar on tracks #1, #4, #9 & #10 Soulful blues with a unique style and powerful delivery This band continues to come out with new albums. And I have found that each new album improves upon the last. This is remarkable. I enjoyed the bands first album some 8 to 10 years ago and grow to love each new release more and more. I have never heard a band metamorphisize so perfectly over the years. Pierre Lacocque is one of the best songwriters I"ve had the chance to get to know. He also leads the band with power and grace, always adding that beautiful harmonica sound to what would have been a great song to begin with. His playing certainly raises the bar. |

Nora Jean Bruso
Carl Weathersby - guitar
(all tracks)
Bruso, along with a crack band including some of Chicago?s finest
(guitarist Carl Weathersby, first-call bassist Harlan Terson, and guest
Dave Spector), invests every note with an utterly ferocious power and
conviction that simply blows the cobwebs away. This is music as urgent as
life itself, and Bruso herself is like an unstoppable force of nature, seeming
not so much to sing the blues as to tear them from a raw and bleeding heart. |

Best of Carl Weathersby |
Carl Weathersby
No one out there today fires up the blues with more soul than Carl
Weathersby. If you haven't sampled the fare of this fine Jackson, Mississippi
bluesman, this new CD offers fourteen (count 'em) of the artist's finest
tracks from his four previous Evidence releases. Robert Johnson's classic
"Hellhound On My Trail" is delivered by Weathersby with true blue finesse,
and he eerily reprises the original in a spooky new shade of blue. Carl
Weathersby makes every note he sings and play count, and nothing is left
to waste. Mighty fine blues, ladies and gentlemen! -

Songs of Eric Clapton: This Ain`t no Tribute Series |
Various Artists Featuring Carl Weathersby guitar and vocals Eric Clapton borrowed
every riff in the book from the old blues artists, and now it's time
for the blues youngsters to pay homage to the slowhand. Buddy Guy doing
'Strange Brew' is not to be missed. Carl Weathersby's version of 'Lay
Down Sally' shows Eric how it should have been done the first time. And
Ann Peebles will leave you sobbing with her tender rendition of 'Tears in
Heaven'. Play this at your next party, and get everyone off of the couch. |

Blues Reference: Blues and Trouble |
Buster Benton Carl Weathersby - guitar (all tracks) Despite the amputation of parts of both his legs during the course of his career, Chicago guitarist Buster Benton never gave up playing his music -- an infectious hybrid of blues and soul that he dubbed at one point "disco blues" (an unfortunate appellation in retrospect, but useful in describing its danceability). In the late '70s, when blues was at low ebb, Benton's waxings for Ronn Records were a breath of fresh air. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide |

Rico McFarland Carl Weathersby - guitar (all tracks)
Take a well-seasoned picker/singer, add Billy Branch's Harp, Otis
Clay's & Sly Johnson's vocals, with a pinch of piano, sax, drums and
bass. Then stir in a group of finely tuned musicians and you have a drop-dead
production that is guaranteed to please. The album gives you a flavor
of Funk Blues, R & B standing along side gospel with a slightly different
twist. This is one album that you will not tire of in that its diversity
leaves you wishing for more. One outstanding track, "Blues Falling Down Like
Rain", is a sophisticated shuffle blues featuring Carl Weathersby on guitar
and Rico's voice flowing together for an exceptional blend. |

Whole Lotta Blues |
Various Artists featuring Carl Weathersby`s knock down version of `Good Times, Bad Times` Whole Lotta Blues is the final album in the House of Blues label's "This Ain't No Tribute" series. Songs of Led Zeppelin caps off this set with a bang instead of a whimper and rivals Paint It Blue (the Rolling Stones edition) for the best album in this collection. As is evident from the title, this release is a salute to the music of Led Zeppelin . John Metzger,The Music Box |

The Blues Keep Following Me Around |
Billy Branch Featuring Carl Weathersby
guitar and vocals
Branch and Carl Weathersby ventured down to Maurice, LA, to cut this
impressive disc with a home-grown rhythm section, but only Branch's name
appears on its front. Certainly the harpist is the star of the show,
growling covers of dusties by Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon, and
Howlin' Wolf. Nevertheless, guitarist Weathersby provides two of the
set's highlights, passionately singing his own "Should Have Been Gone"
and "Should Have Known Better." |

George Gruntz Featuring Carl Weathersby
on guitar
In Nov. 1992 the George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band became one of the
very first jazz groups to ever tour China. Gruntz's 16-piece orchestra
at the time featured such colorful soloists as trumpeters Lew Soloff, Jack
Walrath, Tim Hagans and John D'Earth, trombonist Ray Anderson, altoist Chris
Hunter and the tenors of Larry Schneider and Bob Malach. For the tour Gruntz
brought along bluesmen Billy Branch (on harmonica) and guitarist Carl Weathersby
and they are heard singing and playing on three of the six full-length selections,
making this set a little more accessible than usual. Ray Anderson's riotous
"Literary Lizard" (during which he challenges Lew Soloff in the upper
register), Weatherby's emotional guitar solo on "Carl" and the general
spirit of this flexible orchestra makes one wonder what the Chinese thought
of this extroverted and often eccentric music. |

Carey Bell Featuring Carl Weathersby
on guitar
More than a quarter century after he cut his debut album,
Bell
recently made his finest disc to date. Boasting superior material and
musicianship (guitarists
Carl Weathersby
and
Lurrie Bell
and pianist
Lucky Peterson
are all stellar) and a goosed-up energy level that frequently reaches
incendiary heights, the disc captures
Bell
outdoing himself vocally on the ribald "Let Me Stir in Your Pot" and
a suitably loose "When I Get Drunk" and instrumentally on the torrid "Jawbreaker."
For a closer,
Bell
settled on the atmospheric
Horton
classic "Easy"; he does it full justice. |

Robert Covington Featuring Carl Weathersby
on guitar
Covington moved to Chicago in 1965 and played with Little Walter,
Buddy Guy, Fenton Robinson, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and Lonnie "Guitar
Junior" Brooks. He sat in with Sunnyland Slim at the Flying Fox and they
began to work together on a regular basis. In 1983 he became a full-time
member of the Sunnyland Slim Band. As Slim's frequency of performing declined
(in his later years), Covington fronted his own band and established his
own reputation. He was a hot act at Kingston Mines in Chicago, where he
served as the swing singer; he even headlined one night a week. Covington's
smooth delivery and big-band style voice has earned him the nickname, "golden
voice." Robert Covington died on January 17, 1996, in Chicago. |
